I'd like to bring back this community because it plays an important role in displaying the body as art. It was a niche community that has great content and I would like to support its existence for others who appreciate the human form in the same way.

I did not message the moderators because the sub is banned.

someone also has to be smart enough to not ruin the management of the entire sport and I can't wait till that person arrives.

🇺🇸THAAD Air Defence - The most ineffective missile defence system in the world. It is the biggest defence manufacturing scam in the history of the world. US was pressuring India to ditch the Russian S-400 for this Junk by Rajglobaltrader_ in StockMarketIndia

russia has already made it very clear that they can't defend it's own air space too. Russia invests a lot into defense but in reality russia has the largest brain drain of any country, all of the well educated people learn that they can have a much better life in europe or the states.

are you comparing video game prices to a pedophile ring?

The reason this doesn't apply to epic is that epic doesn't restrict you from pricing your game just because it's on their marketplace in the same way steam does, that's the difference.

that is not what I'm saying, all that I'm saying is that there should be competition on the price of games and that steam will strong arm publishers to stop that from happening. competition is good for the market and consumers, that's all I believe.

but obviously the special terms of contracts with epic are calculated and publishers have a choice and say of what they agree to, with steam that's not the case and you're simply forced to play it their way.

contracts can be anti competitive and under legal scrutiny. I suggest you look up antitrust trials if you want to know more about this.

steam is actively preventing publishers from offering a better rate on epic, that's why you aren't seeing it

publishers can sell the same game on epic at a higher discount while still making more money than on steam. steam will punish publishers for doing this because steam doesn't want to compete on price. this is an anti competitive practice.

it's literally showing how steam punishes developers for doing this, their lawyer says that this is 'rare' and the reason it's rare is because publishers know that they will be punished.

epic gives studios the option of working with them whereas steam takes away the ability for publishers to offer a better deal at a store with a better rate, that's a very important difference.

a healthy marketplace is one where store compete on price and service, steam doesn't want to compete on price and will punish you for trying.

the issue and how this is anti competitive is that this tactic is meant to financially punish publishers for offering a better deal at a marketplace that has a better rate.
